In short
Bio-stimulants in India are regulated under the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985, not the Insecticides Act. Manufacturers and importers must meet the specification for the product category and support it with efficacy and toxicity data before sale. A bio-stimulant must not make pest-control claims.
Why does registration matter now?
Bio-stimulants were brought formally within the FCO with category specifications and data requirements. Selling a product that has not met them exposes the business to enforcement, so manufacturers and importers are moving products into the notified framework.
